SINGLE PREMIERE: Hedge Fund - 'True Romance'

'The lyrics are about grief, frustration, failure...'

Sydney's Hedge Fund are stepping back into the spotlight today with the release of their confident new single True Romance, premiering on TheMusic.com.au. 

The tune is jam-packed with feverish emotion, toeing the line between a spacey new wave-esq sound and crashing, impassioned post-punk. 

It's a combination which reflects the turmoil that lead singer Will Colvin drew on when writing the song. 

"True Romance was written as a reaction to the death of my father and the breakdown of my marriage, the loss of the two most important people in my life in a very short period of time," Colvin said. 

"The lyrics are about grief, frustration, failure and the lies that we tell ourselves about who we are as human beings. It's a song about being wrenched into a situation which caused an immense loss of faith in reality." 

Hedge Fund will launch their new single this Friday (16 March) at Sydney's Zodiac Club night; for more information, head to the Facebook event.
